- Virginia_Opera abstract "Virginia Opera is an opera company based in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Organized in 1974 by a group of Norfolk, Virginia community volunteers, Virginia Opera presented its first productions in 1975 and in the intervening four decades has become known and respected nationwide for the identification and presentation of the finest young artists, for the musical and dramatic integrity of its productions, and for the ingenuity and variety of its education and outreach programs.In March 1994, by unanimous vote of the Virginia General Assembly, Virginia Opera was named The Official Opera Company of the Commonwealth of Virginia in recognition of the organization's contribution to the Commonwealth, and to the world of opera.Virginia Opera currently presents four productions a year at three different Virginia venues – Norfolk's Harrison Opera House, Richmond's Carpenter Theatre at Richmond CenterStage, and George Mason University's Center for the Arts in Fairfax.The company's first three seasons were limited to Norfolk. Expansion to Richmond began in 1977 with the encouragement of then-Governor Mills Godwin and Mrs. T. Fleetwood (Anna) Garner, under whose leadership The Richmond Friends of Opera was formed to present Virginia Opera productions annually in Richmond. By 1983, the Richmond and Central Virginia Board of Virginia Opera was formed and a Richmond office was opened. In November 1992, the company presented its first mainstage performance at the Center for the Arts at George Mason University in Fairfax. Some notable performers who have sung with the company or been presented in concert include: Luciano Pavarotti, Beverly Sills, Renée Fleming, Barbara Dever, Jeannine Altmeyer, Ashley Putnam, Cristina Nassif, Frederick Burchinal, John Aler, Rockwell Blake, Randy Locke, Jake Gardner, Sujung Kim, Frank Porretta, Grant Youngblood, Fabiana Bravo, Mary Elizabeth Williams, Randall Scarlata, and Thomas Rolf Truhitte.The company has produced notable world and American premieres of new works, including most recently American composer Ricky Ian Gordon's Rappahannock County, a Civil War song cycle co-commissioned by Virginia Opera, the Virginia Arts Festival, the Modlin Center of the University of Richmond, and the University of Texas at Austin. Rappahannock County premiered in Norfolk on April 12, 2011, the 150th anniversary of the firing upon Fort Sumter, South Carolina.Earlier world and American premieres included operas by Scottish-American composer Thea Musgrave: Simon Bolivar, Harriet The Woman Called Moses, Mary, Queen of Scots, and A Christmas Carol.In addition to its mainstage performances, Virginia Opera offers a variety of education and outreach programs to students and members of Virginia communities.Virginia Opera is a member of Opera America.Virginia Opera Repertoire from 1974 to 2012Key: N = Norfolk; R = Richmond; F = Fairfax; NN = Newport News1974–1975 (Initial Productions)LA BOHÈME – January 1975 NLA TRAVIATA – June 1975 N1975–1976 (Inaugural Subscription Season)TOSCA – October/November 1975 NLUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR – January 1976 NTHE BARBER OF SEVILLE – March/April 1976 N1976–1977RIGOLETTO – October/November 1976 NIL TROVATORE – January 1977 NTHE IMPRESARIO/PAGLIACCI – March/April 1977 N1977–1978MADAMA BUTTERFLY – October/November 1977 NCOSÌ FAN TUTTE – January/February 1978 NMARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS – April 1978 N1978–1979CARMEN – October/November 1978 NDAUGHTER OF THE REGIMENT – January 1979 NDON GIOVANNI – March/April 1979 N1979–1980LA BOHÈME – October/November 1979 NA CHRISTMAS CAROL – December 1979 NDON PASQUALE – January/February 1980 NTHE TALES OF HOFFMANN – March 1980 N1980–1981PORGY AND BESS – October/November 1980 N, RHANSEL AND GRETEL – December 1980 NWERTHER – January/February 1981 NI CAPULETI E I MONTECCHI – March/April 1981 N1981–1982FAUST – October/November 1981 NCINDERELLA – December 1981 NLA TRAVIATA – January 1982 NTHE MAGIC FLUTE – March 1982 N1982–1983DIE FLEDERMAUS – October/November 1982 N, RAMAHAL AND THE NIGHT VISITORS – December 1982 NMACBETH – January 1983 NTHE ELIXIR OF LOVE – March 1983 N1983–1984 (Inaugural Subscription Season Richmond)NORMA – October 1983 RGIANNI SCHICCHI/SUOR ANGELICA – December 1983 RRIGOLETTO – January 1984 N, RGIRL OF THE GOLDEN WEST – February/March 1984 N1984–1985THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO – October/November 1984 N, RAMAHL AND THE NIGHT VISITORS – November/December 1984 NMADAMA BUTTERFLY – January/February 1985 N, RHARRIET, THE WOMAN CALLED MOSES – March 1985 N, R1985–1986A MASKED BALL – October/November 1985 N, RHANSEL AND GRETEL – November/December 1985 N, RTOSCA – January/February 1986 N, RTHE MERRY WIDOW – February/March 1986 N, R1986–1987CARMEN – October/November 1986 N, RA CHRISTMAS CAROL – November/December 1986 N, RLUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR – January/February 1987 N, RMAN OF LA MANCHA – March 1987 N, R1987–1988DON GIOVANNI – October/November 1987 N, RLA BOHÈME – November/December 1987 N, RMANON – January 1988 N, RCAVALLERIA RUSTICANA/ PAGLIACCI – March 1988 N, R1988–1989FAUST – October 1988 N, RTHE MAGIC FLUTE – November/December 1988 N, RANNA BOLENA – January 1989 N, RLA TRAVIATA – March 1989 N, R1989–1990IL TROVATORE – October 1989 N, RTALES OF HOFFMANN – November/December 1989 N, RTURN OF THE SCREW – January 1990 N, RTHE BARBER OF SEVILLE – March 1990 N, R1990–1991ARIADNE AUF NAXOS – October 1990 N, RLA CENERENTOLA – November/December 1990 N, RROMÉO ET JULIETTE – January 1991 N, RCOSÌ FAN TUTTE – March 1991 N, R1991–1992MADAMA BUTTERFLY – October 1991 N, RTHE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO – November/December 1991 N, RCUT 67/THE MEDIUM – January/February 1992 N, RPORGY AND BESS – March 1992 N, R1992–1993CARMEN – October 1992 N, R, FDON PASQUALE – November 1992 N, R, FTHE NOT MIKADO – January 1993 N, R, FTOSCA – March 1993 N, R, F1993–1994TURANDOT – November 1993 N, R, FNORMA – January 1994 N, R, FDON GIOVANNI – February/March 1994 N, RWEST SIDE STORY – April 1994 N, R1994–1995LA TRAVIATA – October 1994 N, R, FSALOME – November 1994 N, RSIMÓN BOLÍVAR – January 1995 N, RLA BOHÈME – March 1995 N, R, F1995-1996RIGOLETTO – October 1995 N, R, FDIE FLEDERMAUS – November/December 1995 N, RTHE FLYING DUTCHMAN – January/February 1996 N, RTHE BARBER OF SEVILLE – March 1996 N, R, FCAROUSEL – April 1996 N1996–1997LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR – October 1996 N, R, FTHE MAGIC FLUTE – November 1996 N, RJULIUS CAESAR – January/February 1997 N, R, FI PAGLIACCI – March 1997 N, ROKLAHOMA! – April 1997 N1997–1998MADAMA BUTTERFLY – October 1997 N, R, FTHE ELIXIR OF LOVE – November 1997 N, RTHE TENDER LAND – January/February 1998 N, R, FIL TROVATORE – March 1998 N, RH.M.S.
